An Open Letter to Drugs
I remember sitting in a freezing car in the middle of Los Angeles, looking out of the car window at the homeless people that passed. Many of them walked by without a second glance, but a couple of them made direct eye contact and stared. Eventually they moved along, but my heart raced as I waited for my father to return to the car. As every homeless person passed, I imaged my dad in their torn clothes, begging people for money on the streets. To this day, I'm not sure why my young mind had placed him there, maybe it was just one of my worst fears playing tricks on me.

The Blurred Line Between Love and Manipulation
Let's face it, love is dangerous. We are essentially handing our heart over to someone we are more than likely still getting to know, and we are trusting them NOT to make us regret our decision. The truth is, when you're heavily involved in another person, you tend to make excuses when their actions don't live up to the expectation. You start to rationalize their actions, you tell yourself that you're overreacting or that they will change. Is it our own inability to admit that our trust was misplaced, or are we just so invested in the idea of love that we are willing to make it work even when we are unhappy? Whatever the case may be, many of us end up tolerating abusive or manipulative behavior without even realizing it.
